Outlook Contacts not Showing in Address Book

Outlook Contacts not Showing in Address Book

I'm on Outlook 2007 and I got an account on our company Exchange server. When I click the big Contacts button in the lower left, I can see all contacts I've created the last couple of years. But when I write a new email and click on the To-button to search/select contact from the Global Address List, I only see my co-workers and contacts in the exchange list.

"It seems that this was/is due to my profile being migrated from an old computer to a new one, and when I used ""Windows Easy Transfer"" (is it called that?) something with my contacts and outlook/exchange went wrong. I've heard the same thing from someone else so...

Thanks for all the tips and such though!"

"Make sure that your contacts are set to show as an address book. To check this, right-click on the Contacts folder, go to Outlook Address Book, and make sure the ""Show this folder as an email address book"" is ticked (and optionally set the name).

Then when you open the Outlook address book it should appear in the ""Address Book"" drop down list with the name you specified in the previous step."

"If this is Outlook 2010 then you can resolve the problem as follows:

Click the Home tab in the ribbon bar.
In the Find section of the ribbon bar click the Address Book icon.
Click the Tools menu.
Click Options....
Click the ""Custom"" radio button option. Make a note of the current setting first - likely ""Start with Global Address List"".
Click the Add... button
Under Outlook Address Book click to select Contacts.
Click the Add button. If you changed the address list order to Custom in step 5 you can now change it back to the original setting if you want.
Click the OK button.
Close the Address Book."
